I
want to honor Steve the rat because he is absolutely wonderful. His full
name is Swissy Steve and he is a Dumbo rat. When it comes to people, Steve
is a snuggler. He'll do anything you want for a raisin or a piece of
coconut. His absolute favorite food is raw broccoli. Steve is so smart
that he answers to his name, comes when called, and knows how to walk on
his hind legs. He lives in a cage but spends up to eight hours every day
roaming the house and doing as he pleases - and he's never once chewed
through an electrical wire! Steve's favorite place to hang out is on my
shoulder while I sit at the computer. He also loves running on his wheel
and jumping from one piece of furniture to the next. And look at that cute
little face!
Steve is my first rat. I decided to get him when I saw him in the pet
store... At first I was freaked out by the whole "rat" concept, but the
people at the store encouraged me to hold him and I was amazed when I saw
how friendly he was! He jumped right out of the cage and snuggled up on my
shoulder, and I knew right away I had to have him! He's the best!
